Cover Story: YouTube has revolutionized the consumption of video and social media content. With over 2.6 billion users every month, it is the world’s leading video sharing platform with utility in its search engine and social media functions. It offers a vast range of videos tailored to each user’s interests through search/watch history and its recommendation algorithm. However, a recent study conducted by Dr. Luke Balcombe and Emeritus Prof. Diego De Leo of Griffith University’s School of Applied Psychology has shown that excessive YouTube use may have a negative impact on mental health, particularly among young people aged up to 29. The integrative review found that human factors should also be considered. For example, high-saturated use (2-5+ hours per day) as well as a narrow range of viewed content may exacerbate pre-existing psychological symptoms, especially in young people. View this paper
